Six images
I offer you an antidote for yet another gloomy Midwestern winter day:
The Centre Pompidou in Paris, housing the Bibliothèque Publique d’Information (Public Information Library), the Musée National d’Art Moderne (which is the largest museum for modern art in Europe,) and IRCAM, a centre for music and acoustic research.
The brightly colored exoskeleton of the Pompidou is actually a color-coded display of its mechanical systems: blue pipes are for climate control, green for the plumbing, yellow pipes carry the electrical wires, and safety features, such as fire extinguishers, are in red.
